New Mexico State Police are on the hunt to find a AR-15 that was stolen out of a marked police unit.

State Police investigators said thieves stole the AR-15 out of a patrol car parked in front of an officer's home in Tucumcari. Police just arrested Zachary Hurd, Trenton Ward, and Jacob Gutierrez but the AR-15 is still missing.

"To me it takes a lot of guts for somebody to go break into a police vehicle," Lt. Robert McDonald said.

But this is not the only police vehicle targeted recently. An APD spokesperson said a detective had his unmarked car broken into and had a semi-assault rifle stolen. That gun has since been recovered, but police are still looking for suspects.

In a separate case, a thief recently broke into an APD officer's house and stole four police uniforms. Police are still looking for that suspect and those uniforms.
